Thanks for the input guys. I had a moment of doubt but now I know I'm on the right track. I actually picked up a different yellow that I think will work much better. I'm going to play around with a couple things before moving on. Especially the blending of the spruce green and hunt club green.

It looks... perfect! Love all the colors you used and all the scratches are the right size and in the right place. Keep up this great build and paint up!

Thank you so much. Your templates were a huge help. I flipped back and forth between them and the reference photos to try to make it as accurate as I could.

looks amazing!!!!! so nice. did you use a liquid mask ? so glad for the update in these picture!!!

Thanks for the compliments. I really want to like the layering method, but I just can't get the level of detail I want using it, so I went back to all topical. I actually started by doing the silver and liquid mask but didn't like how it was turning out. Topical is just easier for me.

He's going to look pretty cool holding a blaster. Lots more work to do.

This suit is coming along great. I hope when I get my BM armor that it will look this good. What did you use to wether the suit and vest?i saw the same boots at target and I think I am going to give them a try.

The flightsuit is weathered with a combo of spray paint and charcoal. Just lightly misted paint and ground up charcoal rubbed into it. If you spray the paint on lightly the fabric stays soft. I used a combo of flat black, gray primer, and a brown color. The vest is actually clean and I'll probably just leave it like that.

Construction of the knees has begun. These are the RKD ones that come in a bunch of pieces so everything has to be assembled. All the trimming is done, just have to do some filling and sanding before paint.
